The correct answer is C) Taft encouraged America investment in Latin America more than Roosevelt.

The option that describes the difference between William Howard Taft’s policy toward Latin America and Theodore Roosevelt was "Taft encouraged America investment in Latin America more than Roosevelt."

Indeed, the is a name coined that identifies the foreign policy of US President William Taft in Latin America: the Dollar Diplomacy. President Taft wanted more US investments in other Latin American countries to maintain control in the region through money. The US wanted to maintain and protect their economic and political interests in Latin America, and trade was one way to do it.
